The concept is easy. Show up. Express interests and concerns. Break off into smaller discussion groups and exchange information. The Las Vegas Version was held Friday, July 10th.

Since the first camp in San Francisco in March, the volunteer-driven events have been held in several cities, including Dallas and New York. The camps are free. Information about upcoming camps is posted at LaidOffCamp.com and details are available on Facebook.

It’s a way to help people by providing information relevant to their situation. After seven years working as a multimedia designer for slot manufacturer IGT, Las Vegas resident Michael Baker (in picture with Debra Baez of Baez Design, a guest speaker) left to start his own multimedia company. When the economy tanked, he needed to figure out a few things, so he headed to LaidOffCamp in Los Angeles.

The one-day camp, held in May, drew attendees who were self-employed, unemployed or looking to leave the corporate world. They exchanged information on a wide range of topics, including health insurance, legal issues facing startups, personal branding, monetizing skills and expertise.

About Me

As an instructor with an MBA in International Marketing and Economics, I have a decade of experience in being the economist in the marketing department of an international company. I think I get a pretty accurate picture of how the students evaluate my class.
“You can not be referred to as an easy instructor, but I have to thank you for what you do for us. You hold us accountable and taunt us into bringing our A game. KK Interior Design
“There were times that I wanted to pull my hair out in frustration and times when I was on top of the world because I was excited and motivated with the project.” TS Filmmaking
“I would not have been as challenged and inspired to succeed if I had a more laid back instructor. I could tell Pinto really cared about what he was trying to teach us through these projects.” JK Graphic Design
“Slackers will never succeed in their business, and they will get a crash course in their ability to prepare through Pinto himself. …The past few months have been very difficult, but this is exactly what I needed. I benefited from this class completely and only wish I took it sooner.” AM Game Art Design
